Supported this company with the first version of 1Password. Then paid again for a family version of v3 last year, as well as the paid version for the iPhone which has been somewhat of a let down... now they want more money. All so I can store/use passwords.

I've spent less money on other apps that I actually spend more time using daily. Guess I'll start searching for some alternatives before they start dropping support for v3.

"— All Mac App Store customers get 1Password 4 for free. Yes, all of them

— All website customers who purchased 1Password for Mac in 2013 get v4 for free. Yes, that’s a nine-month free upgrade window

— Launch sale price for new customers: $39.99 – that’s 20% off the regular price of $49.99

— Launch upgrade sale price for website customers who bought before 2013: $24.99 – that’s $10 off our regular upgrade price of $34.99".

Not sure why you're quoting this. I read this when I visited the page... I just find it ridiculous that if I pay the $24.99 to upgrade, I will have put close to $100 into an app that basically stores passwords for me conveniently.
They can do what they want with their pricing, but I agree. I just don't see the value at the current price points, especially the $18 iOS app. I'd be more inclined to upgrade at around $20 and $10. At $18 and $7 I'd already have pulled the trigger.
The guys of Binarynights (ForkLift) are working on an alternative called Locko: http://www.binarynights.com/blog/

It's available as an early beta and pretty promising. Competition is always good and Apple will pushing AgileBits further when they release Mavericks with the iCloud Keychain.
